I firstly started to learn maths when I was in the first grade in primary school. I was about seven years old then.

我第一次学习数学是在小学一年级的时候。那时我大约七岁。

To be honest, I disliked maths because there were always too many abstract formulas I had to remember. You know, I was not good at memorising things, so I often used the incorrect formula in the exams, and made lots of mistakes and got low marks as a result.

老实说，我不喜欢数学，因为我总是要记住太多的抽象公式。你知道，我不擅长记忆东西，所以我经常在考试中使用不正确的公式，犯了很多错误，结果得了很低的分数。

My maths teacher was an elderly woman. She was very kind and patient, but she always tended to be demanding with us, she seemed to like making the simplest theory very complicated. She also likes giving us endless homework to do.

我的数学老师是个老妇人。她很善良，很有耐心，但她总是对我们要求很高，她似乎喜欢把最简单的理论变得很复杂。她也喜欢给我们做没完没了的家庭作业。

Yes, I’m afraid that I wasn’t quick at figures. And I was also bored with these abstract formulas and found it hard to pick the appropriate ones to solve the maths problems in exams.

是的，恐怕我对数字不在行。我也厌倦了这些抽象的公式，发现很难挑选出合适的公式来解决考试中的数学问题。

No, actually we were not allowed to use the calculator in class or exams because we were asked to calculate the results with pencil and paper. Therefore I’m not that used to using a calculator now.

不，实际上我们不允许在课堂或考试中使用计算器，因为我们被要求用铅笔和纸来计算结果。所以我现在不习惯用计算器了。
